Zerg: I ​​was picked up by the cold and beautiful Major General at the start of the game.

Lin Luo...

"No! Hold on a little longer!" Eland let out a hoarse growl, almost instinctively, at himself, the voice so broken it didn't sound like his own.

The almost completely dim insect pattern suddenly began to flash wildly again, as if in a final burst of light, but the light was chaotic and rapid, as if it would be completely extinguished in the next second!

He frantically squeezed the last bit of potential from his spiritual sea, even igniting the life-sustaining power of his very being, and poured it into the warship's gradually collapsing control system!

I don't know how much time passed; it could have been a long time, or it could have been just a fleeting moment.

As Ayland's consciousness sank to the edge of haze and darkness, the assault team leader's urgent voice suddenly came through the communication channel:

"Reporting, Major General! All male insects have been found! Confirmed alive! Evacuation is underway! Repeat, all rescue targets have been rescued and are evacuating according to plan!"

The voice, like a stimulant, pierced Aland's chaotic consciousness.

"You can... go back now..."

This thought sustained him. With the last vestige of his will, he forced his body and mind, which were on the verge of complete collapse, to maneuver the battered warship out of the combat airspace and make a brief jump towards the base.

-

"Bang!"

With a heavy thud, the warship of Eland crashed almost onto the deck, its hull covered in scorch marks and damage, emitting wisps of black smoke.

The female soldiers, who had been anxiously waiting, immediately rushed forward and used tools to forcibly pry open the deformed hatch.

The strong smell of blood and the aura of surging energy hit him, and Ailand was already slumped in the driver's seat.

"Major General!"

Several female soldiers rushed forward and carefully tried to help him out.

However, the moment their hands touched him, Eland's body trembled violently, and a mouthful of blood, which he could not suppress, gushed out of his mouth, splattering onto the cold operating table in a shocking manner.

His face was deathly pale, and the insect patterns on his skin that had once shone with power were now extremely dull.

His body slumped backward uncontrollably, but his quick-thinking adjutant caught him firmly, preventing him from falling to the ground.

Ayland's consciousness had slipped into a semi-conscious state, his golden eyes unfocused and half-closed, his bloodstained lips still moving slightly as he weakly uttered a command:

"...Withdraw...Withdraw...Full fleet...Alternating cover...Withdraw..."

The adjutant felt his superior's body growing colder in his arms, his heart breaking with rage. He screamed desperately into the communication channel:

"Dr. Parks! Come quick! Hurry!!"

Dr. Parks, who had been waiting with his medical kit, rushed in as fast as he could. When he saw Aland's condition, even though he was mentally prepared, his heart sank.

This is not just a serious injury; it is a terrifying sight where one's mental strength is on the verge of collapse and even the very essence of life is severely depleted!

The red lights were flashing inside the medical room, and the atmosphere was so tense it was almost frozen.

Aland was quickly placed on the emergency platform, where the life monitor emitted a piercing warning.

"Quick! Stabilizer injection! Maximum dose!" Parks shouted as he attached the detection electrodes to the almost completely de-glowing insect pattern on Aland.

An assistant quickly did as instructed, but looking at the still wildly fluctuating data on the monitor, his voice trembled:

"Doctor! It's no use! The stabilizer is like water dripping into a furnace! The Major General's mental state is... is self-immolating!"

Another assistant looked at the energy readings, his face turning deathly pale.

"It wasn't just a matter of his spiritual energy being depleted... the Major General, he excessively exploited the very essence of life!"

Parks' forehead was covered in cold sweat. He tried to connect to the mental soothing device, but the weak calming energy was instantly torn apart by the violent vortex as soon as it entered Aland's mental sea.

"Where's the Silent One Potion?! Quick!" Parks roared. This was the last potent medicine that could force the mind into a state of dormancy, temporarily preventing a complete collapse.

With trembling hands, the assistant pushed a vial of dark blue medicine into Ailand's vein.

All the insects stared intently at the monitoring screen, hoping that the frantic data would show even a slight sign of calming down.

However, several seconds passed, and the curve on the screen continued to fluctuate violently, like the electrocardiogram of a dying person, or even worse.

"It's...it's no use!" The assistant's voice trembled with tears.

"Doctor, even the Silent Potion...it's completely ineffective! His mental state is collapsing too rapidly; any external intervention is simply destroyed!"

The assistant who spoke first suddenly grabbed Parker's arm:

"Doctor! In this situation... unless, unless a high-ranking male insect can arrive immediately to provide the Major General with the deepest level of mental reassurance and calming, forcibly stabilizing the core of the collapse, otherwise... otherwise..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but every insect in the medical room understood the unspoken meaning—

Otherwise, Major General Ailand, the Empire's youngest star general, could very well have suffered brain death right before their eyes due to the complete collapse of his mental sea!

Dr. Parks' hand froze in mid-air, his face ashen.

He knew better than anyone that this was a frontline base, where would they get a high-level male insect? Even if they were to send one from the capital star immediately, it wouldn't be fast enough!

Is it really possible that we can only watch helplessly as Eland's situation deteriorates step by step, leading to its ultimate destruction?

The alarm from the life monitor sounded like a countdown to death, each blast striking Dr. Parks' heart.

Ailand's aura grew weaker and weaker, and the light of the insect pattern almost completely went out.

"Get out!" Parks suddenly looked up and yelled at his anxious assistants.

"Everyone out! I need absolute quiet to think of a solution! Quickly!"

His assistants were taken aback by his rare outburst, but seeing the doctor's bloodshot eyes and Eland's rapidly deteriorating condition, they dared not ask any more questions and could only retreat quickly with a worried expression, closing the door behind them.

As soon as the door closed, Parks rushed toward the silver-white sealed medical kit he always carried with him.

His hands were trembling, and it took him several attempts to enter the correct password and pass the iris verification.

"laugh--"

The lid was opened, and a cool breeze filled the air, revealing a row of deep red blood collection tubes that were securely fastened inside!

Each tube was filled with crimson blood, which reflected a chilling sheen under the cold white light.

Parks carefully removed a vial, staring at the bright red liquid, muttering to himself as if in prayer: "...May a miracle happen...please..."

He dared not delay for a moment, connecting the blood collection tube to the extraction device as quickly as possible, and rapidly separating a substance from the blood that emitted an extremely faint, almost imperceptible pale golden fluorescence.

As soon as the extraction was complete, Parks immediately drew it into the syringe, aimed it at the insect pattern on Aland's neck without hesitation, and forcefully pushed the syringe in!

Then, he stared intently at the life monitor, almost holding his breath.

One second... two seconds... ten seconds...

The despairing data on the monitor showed no signs of improvement, and Ayland's face remained ashen, showing no reaction whatsoever.

Parks' lips were pressed into a straight line, and beads of cold sweat gathered on his forehead, sliding down his cheeks.

It failed? Could it be...?

A tremendous fear gripped him, but now he had no way out and no other choice!

"I'm risking everything..." A hint of madness flashed in Parks' eyes as he opened the medical kit again and took out all the blood collection tubes inside!

He almost crudely imported all the blood samples into the extractor at the same time, turning the power up to the maximum!

Parks drew all the extracts, which carried all his hopes, into a large syringe, aimed it at the dim insect pattern again, and injected all the liquid in one go, without reservation!

After the injection was completed, he threw away the empty syringe and gripped the edge of the emergency platform tightly with both hands.

His heart was pounding wildly; he could even feel the veins in his temples throbbing. Cold sweat had completely soaked his back.

Time passed by second by second, each second feeling as long as an eternity.

Parker stared intently, his eyes almost bleeding, every muscle in his body tense to the limit, awaiting the final judgment that would be either salvation or utter destruction.

Suddenly, the previously lifeless insect markings on Ailand's neck flickered extremely slightly...
